Charming well cared-for Azalea model one story end unit condominium in fabulous Village Gardens, a lush topical community of palm, pine and oak trees in an old Florida setting. Features include a large kitchen with lots of cabinets, a breakfast nook, pantry, center island, gas stove, and a utility closet with washer, dryer & 4 year old hot water tank plus shelving for cleaning supplies; the L shaped living and dining rooms wrap around a screened lanai that streams in the Florida sunshine and soft breezes. The primary bedroom en suite has a large walk-in closet that also has pull-down stairs to an attic for extra storage. There is also a guest bedroom and a guest bathroom. The roof was replaced in 2015 (roofs are the responsibility of the association), HVAC replaced in 2019, and the concrete driveway is approximately 9 years old and has room for 3-4 cars, and there is a one-car carport right at your front door. A storage shed is attached to the side of the house for yard tools, or is a convenient place to hang a bike. Village Gardens amenities include a clubhouse with on-site management office, kitchen for entertaining, library, and social room; heated pool and poolside ramada with 2 gas grills and tables/chairs for picnics; tennis court that doubles for a pickleball court, and shuffleboard. Village Gardens is ideally located just minutes to the commerce and culture of Sarasota: 8 minutes to downtown Sarasota, and close proximity to University Parkway for restaurants, shopping, UTC Mall, Benderson Park and I75.
